With an enduring passion for artistic expression, my journey began with acceptance into the esteemed American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago in 2001. However, duty called in the wake of 9/11, leading me to serve in the United States Marine Corps for nearly a decade. From deployments as a forward deployed Marine and contractor to my current role as an Army Captain stationed at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, my dedication to service has been unwavering.

Now, nestled in the vibrant community of Southtown, I have found a home where I plan to cultivate my artistic endeavors upon retirement. My artistic exploration delves into the profound interplay between existence and the celestial, the nuanced spectrum of human emotions, and the captivating dance of light and motion.
